"THR COMING Boom. !"

'THB COMING BOOM"
The following very timely article
in the last Hendersonville Times is
so important that we reproduce it,
for the benefit of our own county
and other counties in Western
Carolina. We hope our farmers
will heed the very useful sugges-
tions ofour cotempsrary.
The Times says: :
Our Asheville cotemPoraries are
becoming lavish in their notices OF
the growing Importance of the gold
discoveries on Boilston creek, in
this county, as one among the prin-
ciple factors in the future prosperi-
ty and development OF this noun
tain section, and in opinion we are
not far behind them, although
somewhat reluctant to make our
opinions public.
That this mountain country is on
the one of most wonderful pros
perity, and that Henderson county
will receive its justly merited share,
we firmly believe; and in view of
this, we feel it our duty to put our
readers on their guard, SO that they
as we'll as others, may reap the ben
efits of an unexpected rush to our
country.
What does "boom" mean? It
means a sudden rise in values-a
sudden influx of strangers bent on
speculation sudden demand for
provisions, often at exorbitant
prices, with which to feed the hum
cry multitude. 1t means wealth to
those who have surplus; whether
that surplus be capital or labor.
lands or farm products; but poverty
to those who idly sit and wait for
money to become more plentiful.
The duty of our farmer friends is
plain. If you would receive a part
of the gold produced at the Boilston
mines raise something to sell. Money
will never come to you without
something to bring it. No matter
what that something" is, you will
be none the losers even if the boom
fails to reach US the present season.
Every, dollsr which you arrest here
for hOme-raisel produce is 4 dollar
added to the material wealth of the
county, while the money sent to for
eign markets is lost to US fereyers
We have no authority to mention
names, but are credibly informed
that before the summer is out the
present Boilston Mining Company
will add largely to their machinery
and be empoying three hundred
handsl What does this mean2 1t
means three hundred families sto
feed-at least one thousand people
to clothe-three hundred families to
shelter /; and who is prepared to
help2 Add to this a new company
now formed and about to open an
other mine on Boilston, and you
have but faint idea of the work to
be done by the farmers of thi- coun-
ty if they would keep the gold al
lhone.
This county scarcely feeds its
present polulation. Farmers, go to
work, raise surplus, and thus be
prepared to receive the benefit Of
'fthe coming boomN

The case of Heirs-at>Law of Will

has pro fed to be long and tedious
one, in many respects. The plain
tiff's contend that William Ray, to
whose will they have entered a ca

that he was unduly influenced by
N B. Ray one of the defendants,
when he made it. The cause was
removed from Yancey county, for
trial here some time ago, many Wit
nesses are in attendance and the
costs are rapidly acoumulating. Sew
eral medical experts were examined
yesterday, as to the alleged testator's
capacity TO make a win. The
amount involved is, perhaps, $2O.a
100000. The case will probably be
finished come time to-day.

HIS ONLY FRIEND.

He crouched upon the pauper mound
Where his loved masters bones were laid
In dumb despair he gazed around
One shaggy paw half-fearful laid
Upon the earth so cold. SO gray,
Where his one friend, his master, lay.
He whined and howled, his grief to tell;
His face vas piteous to behold;
And 10: the rain In torrents fell,
While long and loud the thunder rolled.
He did not mind the angry storm
That beat upon his trembling form.
Who slept below: A worthless scamp.
An idle outcast, people said.
A waif-a stray-a ragged tramp,
Who gladly shared his crust OF bread
With the fond brute. his only friend,
Who lived TO guard him, and defend.
They had been comrades in distress;
Misfortune marked them both its own;
And now he missed that rude caress.
How cold, how dark the world had grown.
He dropped his head, his eyes grew dim;
Life held no ray Of light for him.
He sought one plying glance in vain,
For dainty ladies shrank away.
Held back their skirts in cold disdain:
Rough urchins kicked him as he La.
They needed not his grief. for he
Was but q cur Of low degree!
y Let's drown the brute-' the urchins c,ieG.
One last despairing howl ne gave,
Rolled over on his weary eide,
And died upon the lo~iy grave,
Unpraised, unwept, a. IL to prove
How we'll faithful arute can love.
Fanny Forester. in Chambers Journal.
